The Cross Country County Finals took place

on Saturday with 5 children (unfortunately

our 6th runner, Sam B, was unwell so was

unable to take part) from years 5 and 6

running for the Central Area team. Everyone

ran brilliantly and the Central Area boys and

girls’ teams won overall! In the girls’ race,

Bella came in 12th position, Izzy 17th and

Maddie 18th. For the boys, Sam C came 27th

and Jesse was 29th. It was a tough race

competing against the best race runners from

across the county so they should all be really

proud of their achievement.

This run marked the end of the cross country

events for this academic year so if your

child still has their numbered t-shirt then

please return it to Mrs Smith so that it

can be used for future events.

An enormous thank you to Mrs Smith for

giving up her weekend mornings to

enable everyone to take part and a big

well done to the runners for such a

fabulous season!

Cross Country Finals

Spring Music Evening

On Thursday evening we were treated to a special musical

performance. Our Spring Music evening was a superb event with

over 40 children getting the chance to perform in front of a

packed house. The audience were well entertained with piano,

keyboard, clarinet, guitar, brass and flute instrumentalists. I was

blown away with the confidence shown by our performers on the

night.

Parents made kind donations on the night to help raise much

needed funds towards some new instruments for school.

A big thank you to Mrs Page, our music teacher, who organised

the show. Children and parents left the building buzzing with

excitement after their performing to such a large audience. Well

done to everyone!

SEND

On Wednesday we held an information session for parents of children with SEND. If you were unable to attend,

the information slides from the session are on the school website under Parent Meetings and Workshops.

This was an extremely positive session and discussion followed about how as a community we can provide

support for parents and so we will be trialling a series of coffee mornings, starting in the Summer term. The idea is

that you can pop along, after drop off and meet other parents of children with SEND, have a coffee and a chat

and we will discuss, going forwards if there are common themes parents would like a little more support with and

whether we can invite specialists to share their expertise.

The first of these coffee mornings will be on Wednesday 8th May, 9.00-10.00 in the dining hall. Come along if you

can!

Next Term Tony’s Tennis will start back on the first day back, Mon 29 April, and to run for 10 weeks. No

session on the Bank Holiday Monday or the half-term.

For those of you looking for some different activities at Easter;

Easter Tennis Camp: Week 1, Mon 15th to Thu 18th April / Week 2 Tue 23rd to Fri 26th April.

The camp runs from 9am – 2pm* (* a 3pm late pick-up is available). You just need a packed lunch.

The camp is open to children aged 4 (at school)-14 and all standards are welcome. If the weather is

bad, we’ll go in the squash courts. Full details can be found here:
